My pals at the Institute of Governmental Studies here at UC Berkeley (where I remain a fellow against all odds—story to follow some day soon) today released their latest poll on the state of the presidential race here in the once Golden State ahead of the March primary. I know the IGS pollster, Mark DiCamilo, quite well (in fact we shared an office for a time), and I think he is one of the best in the polling business. One of these days he’ll be a guest on the Power Line podcast.
Anyway, guess what Mom? Bernie is surging:
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is now the outright leader in voter preferences in California’s upcoming March 3rd Democratic presidential primary. The latest Berkeley IGS Poll completed last week finds Sanders to be the choice of 26% of likely voters in the Democratic primary. Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren is second at 20%, followed by former Vice President Joe Biden at 15%. No other Democrat is in double digits. . .

Bernie, the creepy old guy in the van parked by the school giving candy to the kids.
Same here in Virginia, no registration by party.
I’ve been toying with the same idea.
Bernie is at least honest about being a communist.
The rest of them are too, but lie about it.
He would lose by a landslide.
Agreed. They don’t even pretend.
Hey my mom is 86 :)
I would have thought the country was very conservative in the years that FDR was in office
Did the depression make people vote him in.
He was very liberal.
“...Did the depression make people vote him in...”
Back then our country was is very bad shape, poverty, dust bowls, etc. It was bad. My Dad joined the military service so we got by - pay check to pay check. The nation pulled through and whether he should get the credit or not, I don’t know. World War II was the big savior but we had already gone through a number of rough years when December 7, 1941 happened. But one thing I do know is that FDR was worshiped by many as a God.
That all makes sense.
People will vote for someone a little more to the left during really hard times if they think the evils of runaway capitalism caused some of the damage.
I don’t know much about the time.
But the more I read about FDR, the less I like him
Another neat part of the article that’s so far unnoticed is that Bloomturd, after spending over $150,000,000 on TV advertising, is only at 9%, not enough to get him a single delegate.
His kids probably looked on in horror :)
He says spending a billion against Trump isn’t out of the question.
Jerk.
But republicans are the rich, out of touch ones.
By definition (based on policies, strategies, and history): democrat==communist!

The only difference there is between the Bolsheviks and Mensheviks. Bernie and Princess Gray Beaver are Bolsheviks. Indeed, many of their Mensheviks, like Bloomturd, are morphing into Bolsheviks.
Wife likes Bernie.
Well, I am in my upper 80’s now and graduate to the 90’s later this year. I was just a little guy back then, but remember family life very well and I wouldn’t trade it for any other.
